Thanks for sharing, Heidi. There are lots of quality sites out there that can help you find child care. However, it is still a good idea to interview prospective sitters in person, and watch how they interact with your children before settling on one.

Glad I could help, Imee. In the end, though, it sometimes requires a gut decision about who gets along best in the context of your needs and family.

Thanks for the awesome advice. My cousins have a lot of kids and their at that “age” where they’re kinda difficult to handle. They could really use a break but don’t know which sitter to hire.

“One of the best ways to get an idea of who would make a good babysitter is to ask friends and family. Get recommendations from people you know. You can also check at your church, community center and local schools.”

I completely agree with this strategy — it’s how I’ve found most of my sitters! That’s why I created http://www.SitterScout.com, which takes your offline network of friends online to help you find great babysitters. We’ll introduce you to sitters through the people you know and the places you go, then help you schedule them with just the click of a mouse.
